Shane McDermott

Shane is Commercial Business Manager with BNZ and a qualified Chartered Accountant. He took up refereeing on retiring from playing rugby due to an injury. He wanted to stay involved in the game and refereeing was the logical choice for him after talking with a local Referee Coach.

His favourite venue is Rugby Park in Invercargill as it is his 'home' ground and has had many great moments there as a player and referee.

Shane keeps fit by running, cycling, gym work and pyramids and his advice to aspiring referees is "control the controllable and be patient! Remember that the next opportunity can happen at any time!"
